Hot Men in Space: A Visual Retrospective

Share

Would the world would be a better place if we could just shoot all men into space? Perhaps. So far, however, we have only managed to send a handful of disproportionately handsome dudes hurtling out into the cosmos. There, through generations of film and television, they have Star Warred, grown space-potatoes, and cut striking figures in their little orange suits. The latest guy to join the ranks of hunky astronauts and spacemen is Hail Caesar star Alden Ehrenreich, who has been cast as young Han Solo in the upcoming Star Wars spinoff. Join us as we celebrate hot men … in space!
